Hi Richard,
I think this is great, and enjoyed reading your code. Maybe Guile
will eventually fulfil its original goal of supporting multiple
languages via translation.
I have two questions.
- There are many BASICs; does your translator try to emulate one spec
in particular? If so, can you give me the reference for that spec?
- Does your translator support BASIC programs split across multiple
files? If it doesn't already, then I'd be interested in your
thoughts on:
- whether this is a sensible concept
- how the translator might be extended to support this.
I appreciate you're busy - so if the easiest answer is just to add
this to the TODO list for now, please just do so.
Regards,
Neil
